Hair Extensions Experts in Saffron Walden - For Hair Loss, Length & Volume

Hair extensions are a wonderful way to transform your hair whether you want added length and lots of volume, or you are seeking a solution to disguise hair loss and thin hair.

We offer 'Hair in Recovery' systems for individuals who have suffered hair loss through the effects of chemotherapy or conditions such as telogen effluvium and alopecia. Bespoke Racoon Hair in Recovery extensions have been tested and certified by independent trichologists to ensure that there is no damage to your hair, as long as they are installed and maintained by one of our fully trained Racoon Certified Hair In Recovery Experts.

Our tried & tested CombLine method of fixing extensions is just one of the solutions we offer for people whose hair is thinning around the fringe line, sides or crown. CombLine extensions are applied strand-by-strand using a comb-like tool to thread natural hair through the weft. This method doesn't require adhesives, tapes, or clips, making it less damaging to natural hair.

CombLine has been tested by our own Consultant Trichologist Stephen James who endorses the system for helping to disguise thinning hair and hair loss while ensuring your natural hair remains damage-free.

Whether you are looking for hair extensions to give your hair added length, volume or a pop of colour - or you want to disguise hair loss - we ask all clients to book in for a complimentary consultation. We can discuss your hair goals and concerns and recommend the best solution for your needs.

We use the finest Rapture and Racoon International hair extensions and offer a variety of fixing methods including Racoon's Luxe Bond, Luxe Link and Luxe Tape systems which have been carefully developed so our expert extensionists have the best choices possible to create truly bespoke, fabulous looks for everyone.

We are also proud to offer CombLine, an innovative solution designed to address hair thinning and hair loss with noticeable and natural results.

CombLine is a revolutionary hair integration system that provides a discreet and effective way to add volume, density, and style to thinning hair. This system allows us to fill in patchy areas close to the hairline by integrating the new hair into your own - so it does not lie on top or underneath but is merged and completely undetectable.

Will extensions damage my own hair?

This can happen with some inferior brands of extensions, however when applied and maintained correctly, our Racoon Hair Extensions should not cause any harm to your natural hair. Racoon International work with a leading trichologist to confirm that when properly applied and removed by a Racoon Certified Extensionist, your Luxe hair extensions will not cause any damage to your hair fibre.

Are hair extensions difficult to maintain?

Another myth surrounding hair extensions is that they are high maintenance and require a lot of time and effort to maintain. However, with proper care, hair extensions can last for months and require minimal maintenance.
Just like with natural hair, it’s important to use the right products and techniques to keep extensions looking their best. It is always best to discuss your lifestyle and your requirements fully with your stylist.

Are hair extensions expensive?

Well yes, good quality extensions can be quite pricey, but not always when you consider how much you spend on getting your hair coloured or when having other hair or beauty treatments.

The best thing to do is to look at the different methods and explore which are going to be better for you and your lifestyle. Some methods (usually the ones that take the longest, are more bespoke and where the hair is the longest) are the most expensive.

However, you may only need a few partial extensions or perhaps some cheaper method like luxe tapes or luxe links that will give you a great result but better for your pocket. With our Racoon hair, you should also be able to use the same hair for up to a year, although you will still need to have them removed and refitted by a professionally trained Racoon Extensionist.

Do you offer hair extensions for hair loss?

Yes we do. At Law Salons our Consultant Trichologist Stephen James is highly qualified in dealing with hair loss and thinning hair issues. Please book a consultation with Stephen so he can assess your needs and recommend the best course of action to help you. Bookings can be made online here or please call the salon on 01799 510996.

Are extensions a good choice for fine hair?

Did you know that more than 65% of people who choose extensions are looking for more volume rather than additional length. So yes, extensions provide the perfect solution for clients who want more volume in their hair.

Will glue be applied to my hair?

Absolutely Not. We do not use glue to bond your extensions. Our unique formula bonding material creates tiny bonds to secure each extension to fine sections of your own hair, making it easy for our specialist to apply and remove, without leaving any trace or residue.

What is special about Racoon Extensions?

However our Racoon extension systems are scientifically proven by independent Trichologists to be kind to your hair when applied and maintained by a fully trained specialist. Our partners at Racoon International are a UK based leading supplier of high-quality, ethically sourced human hair extensions made from root point correct, cuticle intact, premium quality hair.

Will I get a perfect colour match?
